KOLDPHAR TABLET is used in the treatment of the common cold and allergies. The detailed uses of KOLDPHAR TABLET are as follows:

• Nasal Congestion Due to Allergies: KOLDPHAR TABLET shrinks swollen blood vessels in the nasal passages to improve airflow and eases breathing difficulties caused by allergic reactions.

KOLDPHAR TABLET is primarily used to treat common cold symptoms and allergic symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy/watery nose and throat. It is composed of four medicines: Chlorpheniramine (anti-histamine), Phenylephrine (decongestant), Paracetamol (mild analgesic and antipyretic), and Caffeine (a stimulant). Chlorpheniramine belongs to the class of antihistamines (anti-allergic drugs) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Phenylephrine helps in shrinking the blood vessels in the nasal passage, thereby reducing stuffy nose. Paracetamol is an analgesic (relieves pain) and antipyretic (reduces fever) that works by inhibiting the production of certain chemical messengers in the brain known as 'prostaglandins' responsible for pain and fever. Caffeine acts as a common stimulant, which decreases sleepiness caused by Chlorpheniramine and speeds up the action of all the medicines present in KOLDPHAR TABLET.
